car rotisserie?
car rotisserie?
going to be building a car rotisserie for my 2nd gens and also to put my brothers 65 Cuda on ... Looking for some pic's of others or if anyone has one looking for measurments... I've already got a basic drawing of what I'm going to doing... looking to build out of 3/16"or 1/4"x3"x3" sq tubing... any ideas welcome..
you planning on putting the completed running car on there or just the unibody? i have seen them for chassis' but never for a complete 2500+lb car.

When i ordered some stuff from Mariah, they said they were using 2 engine stands as a rotisserie. The car was striped to the unibody, no suspension or anything.
I've enclosed some pics of one I found online a while back, I was thinking about building one, don't even remember where I found it.
Should give you an idea where to start.

I had no need for wheels on mine so I built a split rotisserie with no connection at the middle.
My base was 4'x4' on both ends.
I used on overhead electric winch to lift the car.
what else do you want to know?
The pics I posted are from a commercialy made rotisserie, they are not of an engine stand, although the principle and configuration are the similiar.
Many engine stands are rated at 750 lbs., with a little reinforcement, they may be adapted to use as a rotisserie. The major problem using them is they are short and the base is not wide enough. However, that shouldn't stop some of the creative minds on the forum.
